Then the soil characteristics within the affected zone below the building should be carefully evaluated. The allowable bearing capacity of the affected soil strata should then be estimated. After this study, one could then decide whether shallow foundations or deep foundations should be used. Shallow foundations, such as footings and rafts, cost less and easier to execute. They could be
